Critic Ratings
This near-even blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc opens with layered blackcurrant, lilac, graphite, savory herbs and game. The full-bodied palate is powerful yet balanced, with restrained mineral-laced fruit and mouthwatering acidity. Its long, graceful finish and tightly coiled structure call for patience in the cellar.
Jeb Dunnuck awarded the 2019 Caves des Lions 98 points. The rating recognizes the wine’s depth, polished power and cellar-worthy structure. It stands just behind the current Wine Advocate score while remaining one of the vintage’s leading reviews.
The nose is deep and fragrant, combining cassis and blackberry with currant leaf, nori, chocolate, roasted jalapeño and cigar box. The full-bodied palate is compact, with powerful yet ultra-fine tannins that never feel grippy. It finishes long and juicy, balancing richness with freshness.
